"Hate crime laws violate freedom of speech, religion, and criminalize thought," said TVC Executive Director Andrea Lafferty today. "Hate crime laws are being used by homosexual activists to punish any person who has the courage to speak out against the recruitment of children by homosexuals."
The report exposes the myth that the United States is experiencing an epidemic of hate crimes--and shows that hate crime laws create a system of unequal justice under the law. "A special interest group that can claim victim status under hate crime laws can punish not only actions, but speech and thought under these laws," said Lafferty. "A person who criticizes homosexual behavior should not have to fear being punished for his views."- PHXnews.com Nov. 7, 2005
